Does anyone else have a problem with remembering which variety of potato is in which row? Sometimes I make a plan and then lose it, and sometimes I wedge the name in a stick at the end of the row,only to find the rain has washed it away.. so each year I never know which was the best variety ( ie no eelworm)..

perhaps you should give your plan to a responsible adult?
only kidding!!!! you do all the right things just need to be a bit more careful somehow - phone a friend?
To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower -
Use a permanent marker and write the name on a brick or large flat stone placed at the end of the row.
It won't blow or wash away.Comment

Ask the audience, Or Jaxom.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Hi, Have you considered only growing one variety at a time
I personally keep a small diary with all my dates/times varieties and results.
This way I can easily look back at what worked and what failed to give me a better chance in the future.
Being a diary, I tend not to lose it as well.

Yes Julie, but I'm retired after a very hectic working life. Now have time to bring all my organisational skills to the things I want to do - and loving it.
